Appointment of New Auditors
The Board of Quadrise Fuels International plc (AIM: QFI) is
pleased to announce that following a comprehensive audit tender
process, the Board has approved the proposed appointment of BDO LLP
("BDO") as auditors to the Company for the financial year ended 30
June 2020. Shareholder approval to confirm the appointment of BDO
for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 will be sought at the
Company's 2020 Annual General Meeting.
A formal tender process, managed by the Audit Committee,
commenced in December 2019, as the Company's outgoing auditor,
Crowe LLP ("Crowe") had been providing services for almost 10
years, with a rotation of audit partners after 5 years. A formal
Request for Quotation ("RFQ") was provided to a total of four
firms, including Crowe. Following positive meetings with, and the
receipt of formal responses to the RFQ from all four firms, the
process concluded successfully with the appointment of BDO. The
process to manage the transition from Crowe will begin immediately
and BDO will be responsible for the review of the unaudited interim
results for the period ended 31 December 2019 which will be
published in March 2020, as usual.
Accordingly, Crowe has deposited with the Company a statement of
the circumstances connected with its ceasing to hold office
confirming that there are no matters that need to be brought to the
attention of members or creditors of the Company for the purposes
of Section 519 of the Companies Act 2006.
Mike Kirk, Executive Chairman of QFI, said:
"We are delighted that we received such a positive response to
the formal tender process and to see such a high level of interest
and engagement from four leading auditors. Ultimately, we are
delighted to have appointed BDO, who demonstrated their leading
position as auditors to AIM companies and a particularly strong
presence in the natural resources, oil refining and shipping
sectors. We know that BDO will be able to get up to speed rapidly
and that their strong global network will be important in enabling
us to plan for the future development of the business to support
commercial operations.
I would also like to thank Crowe for their service to the
Company over the last 10 years."
